< Jeremiah 51 >

1 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
Ohùn ti Olúwa wí nìyìí: “Wò ó èmi yóò ru afẹ́fẹ́ apanirun sókè sí Babeli àti àwọn ènìyàn Lebikamai,
2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Èmi yóò rán àwọn àjèjì ènìyàn sí Babeli láti fẹ́ ẹ, tí yóò sì sọ ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ di òfo; wọn yóò takò ó ní gbogbo ọ̀nà ní ọjọ́ ìparun rẹ̀.
3 Against [him that] bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against [him that] lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí tafàtafà yọ ọfà rẹ̀, jáde tàbí kí ó di ìhámọ́ra rẹ̀. Má ṣe dá àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin sí; pátápátá ni kí o pa àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀.
4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and [they that are] thrust through in her streets.
Gbogbo wọn ni yóò ṣubú ní Babeli, tí wọn yóò sì fi ara pa yánnayànna ní òpópónà.
5 For Israel [hath] not [been] forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
Nítorí pé Juda àti Israẹli ni Ọlọ́run wọn tí í ṣe Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, kò gbàgbọ́ bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ilé wọn kún fún kìkì ẹ̀bi níwájú ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli.
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this [is] the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
“Sá kúrò ní Babeli! Sá àsálà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ! Má ṣe ṣègbé torí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ. Àsìkò àti gbẹ̀san Olúwa ni èyí; yóò sán fún òun gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti tọ́.
7 Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Ife wúrà ni Babeli ní ọwọ́ Olúwa; ó sọ gbogbo ayé di ọ̀mùtí. Gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè mu ọtí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti ya òmùgọ̀ kalẹ̀.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Babeli yóò ṣubú lójijì, yóò sì fọ́. Ẹ hu fun un! Ẹ mú ìkunra fún ìrora rẹ, bóyá yóò le wo ọ́ sàn.
9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up [even] to the skies.
“‘À bá ti wo Babeli sàn, ṣùgbọ́n kò lè sàn, ẹ jẹ́ kí a fi sílẹ̀, kí oníkálùkù lọ sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ torí ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ tó gòkè, ó ga àní títí dé òfúrufú.’
10 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
“‘Olúwa ti dá wa láre, wá jẹ́ kí a sọ ọ́ ní Sioni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti ṣe.’
11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device [is] against Babylon, to destroy it; because it [is] the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
“Ṣe ọfà rẹ ní mímú, mú àpáta! Olúwa ti ru ọba Media sókè, nítorí pé ète rẹ̀ ni láti pa Babeli run. Olúwa yóò gbẹ̀san, àní ẹ̀san fún tẹmpili rẹ̀.
12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Gbé àsíá sókè sí odi Babeli! Ẹ ṣe àwọn ọmọ-ogun gírí, ẹ pín àwọn olùṣọ́ káàkiri, ẹ ṣètò àwọn tí yóò sá pamọ́ Olúwa! Yóò gbé ète rẹ̀ jáde, òfin rẹ̀ sí àwọn ará Babeli.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, [and] the measure of thy covetousness.
Ìwọ tí o gbé lẹ́bàá odò púpọ̀, tí o sì ni ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀; ìgbẹ̀yìn rẹ ti dé, àní àsìkò láti ké ọ kúrò!
14 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti búra fún ara rẹ̀, Èmi yóò fún ọ ní ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pọ̀ eṣú, wọn yóò yọ ayọ̀, ìṣẹ́gun lórí rẹ.
15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
“Ó dá ilẹ̀ nípa agbára rẹ̀, o dá ilẹ̀ ayé pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n rẹ̀, o sì tẹ́ ọ̀run pẹ̀lú ìmọ̀ rẹ̀.
16 When he uttereth [his] voice, [there is] a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Nígbà tí ará omi ọ̀run hó ó mú kí òfúrufú ru sókè láti ìpẹ̀kun ayé. Ó rán mọ̀nàmọ́ná pẹ̀lú òjò, ó sì mú afẹ́fẹ́ jáde láti ilé ìṣúra rẹ̀.
17 Every man is brutish by [his] knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them.
“Olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ni kò lọ́pọlọ tí kò sì ní ìmọ̀, olúkúlùkù alágbẹ̀dẹ ni a kó ìtìjú bá nípa òrìṣà rẹ̀. Àwọn ère rẹ jẹ́ ẹ̀tàn; wọn kò ní èémí nínú.
18 They [are] vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Asán ni wọ́n, àti iṣẹ́ ìsìnà, nígbà ìbẹ̀wò wọn, wọn ó ṣègbé.
19 The portion of Jacob [is] not like them; for he [is] the former of all things: and [Israel is] the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts [is] his name.
Ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ìpín Jakọbu kó rí bí ìwọ̀nyí; nítorí òun ni ó dá ohun gbogbo, àti gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀yà ajogún, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni orúkọ rẹ̀.
20 Thou [art] my battle axe [and] weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
“Ìwọ ni kùmọ̀ ogun ohun èlò ogun mi, ohun èlò ìjà mi, pẹ̀lú rẹ èmi ó fọ́ orílẹ̀-èdè túútúú, èmi ó bà àwọn ilé ọba jẹ́.
21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
Pẹ̀lú rẹ, èmi ó pa ẹṣin àti ẹni tí ó gùn ún pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; èmi ó ba kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun jẹ́ pẹ̀lú èmi ó pa awakọ̀,
22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
pẹ̀lú rẹ, mo pa ọkùnrin àti obìnrin, pẹ̀lú rẹ, mo pa àgbàlagbà àti ọmọdé, pẹ̀lú rẹ, mo pa ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àti ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin.
23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
Èmi yóò sì fi ọ́ fọ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn, àti agbo àgùntàn rẹ̀ túútúú, èmi yóò sì fi ọ́ fọ́ àgbẹ̀ àti àjàgà màlúù túútúú, èmi yóò sì fi ọ́ fọ́ baálẹ̀ àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ túútúú.
24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
“Ní ojú rẹ, èmi yóò san án fún Babeli àti gbogbo àwọn olùgbé inú rẹ̀ fún gbogbo ibi tí wọ́n ti ṣe ní Sioni,” ni Olúwa wí.
25 Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
“Mo lòdì sí ọ, ìwọ òkè apanirun ìwọ ti ba gbogbo ayé jẹ́,” ni Olúwa wí. “Èmi ó na ọwọ́ mi sí ọ, èmi yóò yí ọ kúrò lórí àpáta, Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ dàbí òkè tí a ti jó.
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
A kò ní mú òkúta kankan láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ lò gẹ́gẹ́ bí igun ilé tàbí fún ìpínlẹ̀ nítorí pé ìwọ yóò di ahoro títí ayé,” ní Olúwa wí.
27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
“Gbé àsíá sókè ní ilẹ̀ náà! Fọn ìpè láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè! Sọ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè di mímọ́ sórí rẹ̀, pe àwọn ìjọba yìí láti dojúkọ ọ́: Ararati, Minini àti Aṣkenasi. Yan olùdarí ogun láti kọlù ú, rán àwọn ẹṣin sí i bí ọ̀pọ̀ eṣú.
28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
Sọ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú àwọn ọba Media di mímọ́ sórí rẹ̀, àwọn baálẹ̀ rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, àti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n jẹ ọba lé lórí.
29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
Ilẹ̀ wárìrì síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún, nítorí pé ète Olúwa, sí Babeli dúró, láti ba ilẹ̀ Babeli jẹ́ lọ́nà tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò ní lè gbé inú rẹ̀ mọ́.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in [their] holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
Gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun Babeli tó dáwọ́ ìjà dúró sínú àgọ́ wọn. Agbára wọn ti tán, wọ́n ti dàbí obìnrin. Ibùgbé rẹ̀ ni a ti dáná sun, gbogbo irin ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọn ti di fífọ́.
31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at [one] end,
Ìránṣẹ́ kan ń tẹ̀lé òmíràn láti sọ fún ọba Babeli pé gbogbo ìlú rẹ̀ ni a ti kó ní ìgbèkùn.
32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
Odò tí ó sàn kọjá kò sàn mọ́ ilẹ̀ àbàtà gbiná, àwọn jagunjagun sì wárìrì.”
33 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
Ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ nìyìí: “Ọmọbìnrin Babeli dàbí ìpakà àsìkò láti kórè rẹ̀ kò ní pẹ́ dé mọ́.”
34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
“Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli tó jẹ wá run, ó ti mú kí ìdààmú bá wa, ó ti sọ wá di àgbá òfìfo. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ejò, ó ti gbé wa mì. Ó fi oúnjẹ àdídùn wa kún inú rẹ̀, lẹ́yìn náà ni ó pọ̀ wá jáde.
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh [be] upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
Kí gbogbo ìparun tí ó ṣe sí ẹran-ara wa wà lórí Babeli,” èyí tí àwọn ibùgbé Sioni wí. “Kí ẹ̀jẹ̀ wa wà lórí gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé Babeli,” ni Jerusalẹmu wí.
36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Wò ó, èmi yóò tì ọ́ lẹ́yìn lórí ohun tí o fẹ́ ṣe. Èmi ó sì gbẹ̀san, èmi yóò mú kí omi Òkun rẹ̀ àti orísun omi rẹ̀ gbẹ.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
Babeli yóò parun pátápátá, yóò sì di ihò àwọn akátá, ohun ẹ̀rù àti àbùkù, ibi tí ènìyàn kò gbé.
38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.
Àwọn ènìyàn inú rẹ̀ bú ramúramù bí ọmọ kìnnìún.
39 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọkàn wọn bá ru sókè, èmi yóò ṣe àsè fún wọn, èmi yóò jẹ́ kí wọn mutí yó tí wọn yóò máa kọ fun ẹ̀rín, lẹ́yìn náà, wọn yóò sun oorun, wọn kì yóò jí,” ni Olúwa wí.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
“Èmi yóò fà wọ́n lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn tí a fẹ́ pa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgbò àti ewúrẹ́.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
“Báwo ni Ṣeṣaki yóò ṣe dí mímú, ìfọ́nnu gbogbo àgbáyé. Irú ìpayà wo ni yóò bá Babeli láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè!
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
Òkun yóò ru borí Babeli, gbogbo rírú rẹ̀ yóò borí Babeli.
43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of man pass thereby.
Àwọn ìlú rẹ̀ yóò di ahoro, ilẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ, ilẹ̀ tí ènìyàn kò gbé tí ènìyàn kò sì rin ìrìnàjò.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
Èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ Beli ti Babeli àti pé èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ó pọ gbogbo àwọn ohun tí ó gbé mì. Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kì yóò jùmọ̀ sàn lọ pọ̀ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́. Ní òótọ́ odi Babeli yóò sì wó.
45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
“Ẹ jáde kúrò nínú rẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi! Sá àsálà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ! Sá fún ìbínú ńlá Olúwa.
46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come [one] year, and after that in [another] year [shall come] a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọkàn rẹ dàrú tàbí kí o bẹ̀rù nígbà tí a bá gbọ́ àhesọ ọ̀rọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ wa; àhesọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan wá ní ọdún yìí, òmíràn ní ọdún mìíràn àhesọ ọ̀rọ̀ ni ti ìwà ipá ní ilẹ̀ náà àti tí aláṣẹ kan sí aláṣẹ kejì.
47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Nítorí ìgbà náà yóò wá dandan nígbà tí èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ àwọn òrìṣà Babeli; gbogbo ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni a ó dójútì gbogbo àwọn tí a pa yóò sì ṣubú ní àárín rẹ̀.
48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that [is] therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.
Ọ̀run àti ayé àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú wọn, yóò sì kọrin lórí Babeli: nítorí àwọn afiniṣèjẹ yóò wá sórí rẹ̀ láti àríwá,” ni Olúwa wí.
49 As Babylon [hath caused] the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
“Babiloni gbọdọ̀ ṣubú nítorí ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ni Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ti a pa ní gbogbo ayé nítorí Babeli.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Ẹ̀yin tí ó ti bọ́ lọ́wọ́ idà, ẹ lọ, ẹ má dúró. Ẹ rántí Olúwa ní òkèrè, ẹ sì jẹ́ kí Jerusalẹmu wá sí ọkàn yín.”
51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.
“Ojú tì wá, nítorí pé àwa ti gbọ́ ẹ̀gàn: ìtìjú ti bò wá lójú nítorí àwọn àjèjì wá sórí ohun mímọ́ ilé Olúwa.”
52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
“Nítorí náà, wò ó, ọjọ́ ń bọ̀,” ni Olúwa wí, “tí èmi yóò ṣe ìbẹ̀wò lórí àwọn ère fínfín rẹ̀, àti àwọn tí ó gbọgbẹ́ yóò sì máa kérora já gbogbo ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, [ yet] from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.
Bí Babeli tilẹ̀ gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run, bí ó sì ṣe ìlú olódi ní òkè agbára rẹ, síbẹ̀ àwọn afiniṣèjẹ yóò ti ọ̀dọ̀ mi tọ̀ ọ́ wá,” ní Olúwa wí.
54 A sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
“Ìró igbe láti Babeli, àti ìparun láti ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kaldea!
55 Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
Nítorí pé Olúwa ti ṣe Babeli ní ìjẹ, ó sì ti pa ohun ńlá run kúrò nínú rẹ̀; àwọn ọ̀tá wọn sì ń hó bi omi púpọ̀, a gbọ́ ariwo ohùn wọn.
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, [even] upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
Nítorí pé afiniṣèjẹ dé sórí rẹ̀, àní sórí Babeli; a mú àwọn akọni rẹ̀, a ṣẹ́ gbogbo ọrun wọn: nítorí Ọlọ́run ẹ̀san ni Olúwa, yóò san án nítòótọ́.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise [men], her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts.
Èmi ó sì mú kí àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ yó bí ọ̀mùtí, àti àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n rẹ̀ àti àwọn baálẹ̀ rẹ̀, àti àwọn akọni rẹ̀, wọn ó sì sun oorun láéláé, wọn kì ó sì jí mọ́,” ní ọba wí, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
58 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
Báyìí ní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: “Odi Babeli gbígbòòrò ní a ó wó lulẹ̀ pátápátá, ẹnu-bodè gíga rẹ̀ ní a ó sì fi iná sun: tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn ènìyàn ti ṣiṣẹ́ lásán, àti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ti ṣiṣẹ́ fún iná, tí àárẹ̀ sì mú wọn.”
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And [this] Seraiah [was] a quiet prince.
Ọ̀rọ̀ tí Jeremiah wòlíì pàṣẹ fún Seraiah, ọmọ Neriah, ọmọ Maseiah, nígbà tí o ń lọ ni ti Sedekiah, ọba Juda, sí Babeli ní ọdún kẹrin ìjọba rẹ̀. Seraiah yìí sì ní ìjòyè ibùdó.
60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, [even] all these words that are written against Babylon.
Jeremiah sì kọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ ibi tí yóò wá sórí Babeli sínú ìwé kan, àní gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí tí a kọ sí Babeli.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
Jeremiah sì sọ fún Seraiah pé, “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá dé Babeli, kí ìwọ kí ó sì wò, kí ìwọ kí ó sì ka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí.
62 Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
Kí ìwọ kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa ìwọ ti sọ̀rọ̀ sí ibí yí, láti ké e kúrò, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe gbé inú rẹ̀, àti ènìyàn àti ẹran, nítorí pé yóò di ahoro láéláé.’
63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
Yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí ìwọ bá parí kíka ìwé yìí tán kí ìwọ kí ó di òkúta mọ́ ọn, kí ó sì sọ ọ́ sí àárín odò Eufurate.
64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far [are] the words of Jeremiah.
Kí ìwọ sì wí pé, ‘Báyìí ní Babeli yóò rì, kí yóò sì tún dìde kúrò nínú ibi tí èmi ó mú wá sórí rẹ̀: àárẹ̀ yóò sì mú wọn.’” Títí dé ìhín ni ọ̀rọ̀ Jeremiah.
